The term knowledge-business intensive services'' (KIBS) has been in use for more than 15 years, but has recently become an important subject of analysis and empirical investigation. Beginning with a literature review, this paper presents and discusses the features of KIBS and their role in innovation systems. The following questions are considered: (1) how are KIBS defined? (2) how have KIBS been investigated empirically? and (3) how have the dimensions of knowledge, innovation, and spatial proximity been integrated into analysis? (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
